Chapter 11: Gods and Mortals

"Why are you so skilled?"

On the way to the Internet cafe, Wu Bo couldn't help but complain: "I always thought you were that kind of good student."

“You’re stereotyping.”

Grades and personality are two completely different things. At least in Bai Yang's impression, many people with good grades are better at playing than poor students. The only difference lies in self-control and IQ.

"What game are you playing?" Li Yang and Wu Bo were not familiar with each other, and they looked a little reserved.

"Play games?" Wu Bo waved his hand: "I don't have the time."

"I have to watch at least five tonight!"

"No, is there really anyone who can watch a whole movie?" Bai Yang was surprised: "Don't you just skip through this thing?"

"You don't understand." Wu Bo acted mysterious and said, "Ordinary people only watch it for desire, but I watch it to study pornography appraisers. Have you heard of it?"

Bai Yang: ".I am a layman."

The New Era Internet Cafe is hidden in a small alley. It has a new name but old equipment. It is filled with smoke as soon as you go in. It is obviously very late, but most of the seats are occupied. Everyone is flushed and banging their keyboards in the smoky "fairyland".

In this era, the Shamatte culture is rampant, and Bai Yang is dazzled by the various bizarre and colorful hairstyles.

The eight yuan for the whole night almost emptied Bai Yang's last savings. Fortunately, Wu Bo's family was well-off and he generously paid for the drinks and instant noodles. The three of them found a corner, and Wu Bo couldn't wait to turn on the player.

Soon, a harmonious scene appeared on his screen.

"He's also a genius." Li Yang said with admiration.

Normal people wouldn't dare to watch this stuff openly in an Internet cafe.

He glanced at it curiously, again and again.

"Go to the bathroom."

When he came back, he was refreshed. Looking at Wu Bo's screen again, he felt calm and sneered, "What's so good about this thing? Bai Yang, come play games!"

"You play first." Bai Yang entered the keyword "popular magazines" into the search engine.

"Wen Zhai Wankan", "Youth Wen Zhai", "Yi Lin", "Jin Gu Chuan Qi".
The physical publishing industry of this era had not yet declined, and there were countless popular magazines, and all kinds of styles could find a home for submissions. Bai Yang's choice was simple and crude. He directly looked up the payment standards of major magazines, and then set his sights on "Legends of the Past and Present: Story Edition".

"The manuscript fee can be up to 500 yuan per 1000 words."

This is the highest standard of royalties other than that of "The Soloist". The "Soloist" founded by Han Han directly offered a price of one thousand or even two thousand per thousand words. Unfortunately, after successfully publishing one issue, it announced its disbandment, otherwise Bai Yang would have really taken advantage of Han Han.

"Then let's go with the legend of the past and present."

The style of this magazine is more story-telling, which is very suitable for Bai Yang. Coincidentally, he participated in a martial arts essay contest in his previous life and published a martial arts-style manuscript.

Just open the document and start working. The keyboards in Internet cafes at that time were just sturdy and durable, and the feel was naturally not as good as the mechanical keyboards in the past. Bai Yang's speed was slowed down a lot.

But for the other people in the Internet cafe, it was already very fast. Li Yang heard the tapping sound next to him and exclaimed: "Brother Yangzi, are you playing the show dance?"

"Write something." Bai Yang kept moving.

It takes almost no thought to restore what you wrote in your previous life.

"You come to the Internet cafe to write something instead of playing games?" Li Yang took a quick look while brushing pictures and shook his head in dismay. "You have changed. There is already a shameful thick barrier between us."

He was totally uninterested in the text on the screen and turned back to saving Celia.

Time always goes by quickly during an overnight stay. After Li Yang finished brushing off his tiredness on the second account, he rubbed his red eyes and turned to look at Wu Bo's screen.

"Damn it, staying up late has drained my mental energy. I'm too easily affected by my inner demons."

He stood up and went to the toilet. When he came back, his face was a little pale, but his eyes were clear again. He gave Wu Bo a thumbs up with contempt and admiration, and then looked at Bai Yang.

"What are you writing for so long?"

"It's just a short story." Bai Yang finished quickly: "It's done."

"Writing novels?" Li Yang was amused. "We have known each other for so many years, but I didn't know you had this hobby."

"I have to give it a try." Bai Yang found the submission email of Jin Gu Chuan Shuo and sent all the manuscripts to him. Only then did he relax and teased Li Yang: "I didn't know you were so fast."

"What do you mean quick?" Li Yang suddenly became anxious, "I just went to the toilet!"

"I'm talking about going to the bathroom." Bai Yang understood, stood up and stretched, "It should be about time, right?"

"It's past six o'clock." Li Yang yawned, "I haven't had such a good time in a long time, Brother Yangzi, are you going home tomorrow night?"

Bai Yang was silent for a moment: "Yes."

"I'll go to your house to find you, and then I'll tell you that you're staying at my place, and then you can repeat the process at my place, and then we can go out for the night again!"

"Can your body withstand staying up all night?" Bai Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My highest record is not sleeping for three days." Li Yang was very proud. "It's only one or two days. It's nothing."

When he was young, he was physically strong, so he really didn't care about anything when he became addicted to the Internet. Bai Yang remembered that it was not until he was nearly 30 years old that Li Yang felt his physical condition had plummeted and he began to regret his previous crazy overdraft.

"Forget it." Bai Yang advised, "Let's play next time. I need to catch up on my sleep tomorrow."

Keep in good health, start from the age of seventeen!
Walking out of the Internet cafe together, the three of them shivered in the morning breeze. "It feels like my soul is leaving my body," Wu Bo said in a daze.

"I saw it." Li Yang said, "Your soul has turned yellow."

"Let's have breakfast. It's my treat!" Wu Bo was not ashamed. Instead, he grinned and said, "I need to replenish my nutrition."

"Me too." Li Yang nodded in agreement: "Add two eggs."

Rice noodles are famous in southern Hunan. Just blanch them in boiling water, pour beef bone soup on them, and add a few spoonfuls of secret red oil, and the aroma will rush into your nose.

Adding vinegar is not authentic, you have to add concentrated mountain pepper oil, stir it vigorously a few times, and each rice noodle is covered with broth, red oil and seasonings. Suck it in while it's hot.

Come to life!

"Good morning."

The crisp greeting woke up the three people who were concentrating on eating noodles.

Bai Yang raised his head and was surprised to see Zhong Xilu standing in front of the table with a smile on her face.

"You have such serious dark circles under your eyes. Did you stay up late?" She glanced at the three of them and her face tensed. "As far as I remember, you are all boarding students, right?"

Li Yang and Wu Bo shuddered all over.

"Why are you here?" Bai Yang was calm and greeted with a smile.

"This is an old restaurant. I often come here for breakfast." Zhong Xilu poked Bai Yang's arm, and Bai Yang understood and sat down a little further inside. "Don't change the subject. You guys broke the rules and were expelled from school last night, right?"

"Is it too late for me to treat you to breakfast as a bribe?" Bai Yang said seriously.

"I'm the squad leader!" Zhong Xilu glared at Bai Yang and raised a finger: "At least add one sausage!"

Bai Yang winked at Wu Bo, "Didn't you hear me? Beef noodles with sausage!"

Wallet felt relieved and quickly went to order food.

Li Yang was fidgeting nearby, burying his head and pretending that he didn't exist.

"That's good enough." Zhong Xilu was satisfied and patted Bai Yang on the shoulder: "You are a very sensible young man, but remember to take me with you next time."

"Is the squad leader planning to join us in this corruption?"

"It's supervision!"

The beef noodles were served, and Zhong Xilu smiled at Wu Bo: "Thank you, Wu Bo."

Wu Bo's face flushed immediately, he hesitated for a long time, turned around and left: "I-I'll go back to the classroom first!"

"I'm going too!" Li Yang stood up and said, "Brother Yangzi, I'll be waiting for you in the classroom."

In front of Zhong Xilu, the two of them really couldn't let go, especially when they thought about the ridiculous things that happened last night. They felt that sitting in front of each other was a blasphemy and just wanted to run away quickly.

"Classmate, your two eggs!" the boss shouted.

"Give me more." Bai Yang raised his hand, "I just haven't eaten enough."

Zhong Xilu wrinkled his nose, "It smells like cigarettes. You'd better go to the track and field for a run later, otherwise I can't help you. You'll just have to wait to be discovered by the teacher."

"I'll just go back to the dormitory and take a shower." Bai Yang also didn't like the smell after staying up all night.

When you have the conditions in the future, it is better to buy a laptop. It is not a good idea to always go to the Internet cafe to type. The smell of that place will be absorbed by you if you stay there for a long time.

“Don’t be late!” Zhong Xilu waved his chopsticks and threatened: “You haven’t paid me the bribe for being late yesterday.”

"You really are openly using your position to seek personal gain." Bai Yang said helplessly.

"What else?" Zhong Xilu rolled her eyes. "I was forced to do this by the teacher. I'm just working for free, so can't I get some benefits for myself?"

"You can't just catch me and grab me."

"It's against the rules to grab other people! If it gets out, people will say I'm greedy and have bad character." Zhong Xilu said confidently, "I still have some dignity to keep."

"So, I should be proud of my uniqueness?"

Bai Yang smiled, putting emphasis on the word "special".

Zhong Xilu was stunned for a moment, her face slightly pink, but she did not look away. Instead, she raised her smooth chin and said, "Of course!"

The attitude is a bit arrogant.

Bai Yang hissed.

No, I just reborn and encounter an elite monster of such a high rank. I can’t handle it.

As a reborn person, how can I feel attracted by a little girl!

It must be because I was too exhausted from staying up all night last night!
